Draft Nottinghamshire Minerals Local Plan

Representation ID: 30830

Received: 19/09/2018

Respondent: P.A.G.E.

Representation Summary:

Whilst we support SP5 whilst the Newark area includes part of the "County main highways network", until essentially required improvements are made the A46 /A1 network around Newark, it should not be considered to offer a viable transportation facility and no new sites should be opened in the Newark area until such improvements are in place.

we suggest instead of " within close proximity to existing or proposed markets", should read "as close as possible by environmentally acceptable routes.
We suggest "close proximity" is a matter of opinion whilst our suggestion is a matter of where minerals and routes occur.
